It'd be interesting to compare relative pricing after a bike company gets bought out by an investment conglomerate. SC bikes were never cheap, but seem to me to be much more inflated than a few years ago. The promises that investment, efficiency and scale will be good for the consumer rarely seem to pan out in these situations -- investors need to get their $ somehow. Just a thought. Maybe I'm off base here.
